Awesomeness
Fitocracy is an amazing app, it really keeps you motivated, making you want to log on and level up. It really pushed me to training harder and further, and always a lot about fitness and nutrition. Like others have said it becomes a way of life, and the community is awesome, super friendly and always there to give you motivation or advise. The app does get buggy from time to time, but it is usually fixed up sooner or later. If you can commit yourself to this app and community, you won't regret it :D

Must have!!
It is essential for anyone wanting extra motivation and support for all those hard workouts you do. The best ever tool for tracking workouts and seeing your progress! Oh and it's fun, social and informative!!!!
Great app / community
As a closet MMORPG player this app really appeals to me, the community is very supportive and also gives me a way to "compete" with friends who are active in other ways (running etc)

Fitocracy is a fun and useful app for providing motivation and inspiration for fitness - whatever your goal. The community is friendly and the creators are responsive to suggestions & improvements . As a personal trainer I have looked for an easy way of logging my own exercise progress - &Have used this one daily since downloading over a year ago! Couldn't recommend more .

Great encouragement
Have used the fitocracy website for about a year now and found it to be really helpful. The the phone up came along and was excellent in its portable advice and tracking.
I don't know why using an rpg level-up-like system feels so rewarding - but it does!

Perfect for what it is
Fitocracy is a pretty much perfect fitness app/game. It perfectly blends the game and points mechanisms and the social aspect is wonderful. You can use it to either encourage each other or to challenge others or yourself to keep going or put in the extra effort. It's a great way to get and stay motivated to work out and get fit and track your progress.
The iPhone app is really well done. It's easy to log your exercises and workouts. It's great for keeping track of how you're going, your personal quests to improve fitness and your performance over time at different activities. The social features give extra motivation and are very easy to use in the app.

I do not like this app, I do naaht
This app annoyed me from the start. A few reasons:
- it has trouble with the metric system, listing my weight variously as 65kg and 165lbs (which are not the same) and kept changing my height from 180cm to 177cm
- the fancy-schmancy numerical data input method is a pain
- sent me a screed of annoying emails even though I opted out of email contact
- assumed I knew random people who subsequently spammed me
- no option to delete your account from in the mobile app
- suggested (almost exclusively) 'quests' that required use of a gym—which I do not have—even though I told it I wasn't a gym member
"You are tearing me apart, Fitocracy!!"
Will be getting rid of the app as soon as I figure out how to remove my account!

Perfect tracker
Great for tracking my exercise and showing my improvement. Also encourages me to work out on days when I'm feeling a little lazy
Motivation in a great little package!
Good to see all the irritating bugs from last release fixed. This is a fantastic app and a great motivator, but I feel like more can be done to take it to the next level, some parts feel like a beta! A lot of exercises I do are missing or have no description so I'm unsure if they're the one. No graphical guides on how to perform an exercise is something virtually every other fitness app has, needs to be implemented. Some UX elements could be better thought out (ie leaving Track screen for a moment then coming back, I don't want to tick/untick quests everytime!) I'm sounding negative but I do think this is an amazing app, I trust the devs to make it complete and polished in a timely manner!

I check my Fito newsfeed before Facebook!
I track my exercise, Fitocracy awards me with points for it. I feel like I've earned something - accomplished something! I'm always looking to earn those few more points so I can level up, just like in a game. The sense of global community that forms from the social networking side of this is so supportive and encouraging. Whether beginning a fitness journey, or a completely obsessed fitness junkie, there are friends on Fito for you.
Tracking in the app can be a bit time consuming, but worth it. If you cannot find an accurate description for an exercise, ask in a forum - someone will help straight away.
